The half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years. (Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass). 
Let A₀ be the initial amount of carbon-14 that is found in living matter (t=0 years), to determine when there was 44.5% of A₀ left.
44.5 = 100 × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives
0.5^n = 0.445
    n = log 0.445/log 0.5
    n = 1.168
But 1 half life is 5700 years
Therefore, the number of years will be 5700 × 1.168 = 6658.299725 years
≈ 6658.30 years

A spoon of salt is added to water. Which of these will increase how fast the salt dissolves? Check all of
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A is wrong because heat is what makes the process faster.

B is right because the finer grains are able to dissolve at a higher rate since the amount of one grain reduces it's time to dissolve.

C is wrong because simply adding more water will not increase or decrease the dissolving rate.

Using the determined equivalence point from question 2 and the balanced reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide, calculate
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Molarity of the packet is 0.5M

Explanation:

In the reaction of acetic acid with NaOH:

CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

<em>1 mole of acetic acid reacts with 1 mole of NaOH.</em>

<em />

When you are titrating the acid with NaOH, you reach equivalence point when moles of acid = moles of NaOH.

Moles of NaOH are:

3.0mL = 3.0x10⁻³L ₓ (0.1 mol / L) =<em> 3.0x10⁻⁴ moles</em> of NaOH = moles of CH₃COOH.

Now, you find the moles of acetic acid in the hot sauce packet. But molarity is the ratio between moles of the acid and liters of solution.

As you don't know the volume of your packet, <em>you can assume its density as 1g/mL. </em>Thus, volume of 0.6g of hot sauce is 0.6mL = 6x10⁻⁴L.

And molarity of the packet is:

3.0x10⁻⁴ moles acetic acid / 6x10⁻⁴L =

<h3>0.5M</h3>

A sample of hydrogen gas, has a volume of 8.56 L at a temperature 0oC and pressure of 1.5 atm. Calculate the number of moles of
erica [24]
P = 1.5atm ≈ 1519.88hPa
V = 8.56L
R = 83.1 [hPa*L] / [mol*K]
T = 0°C =273K

pV = nRT   |:RT

n = pV / RT

n = [1519.88hPa*8.56L] / [83.1 [hPa*L] / <span>[mol*K] * 273K]
n </span>≈ <u>0.57mol</u><span><u> </u></span>
